Faculty Participation in the Early Calling Campaign – March 1 –
6, 2016

In March, the Office of Admissions will host a series of critical phone
calling campaigns to increase the yield of admitted students from
targeted populations, including Regents Scholars, Chancellor’s Associate
Scholars, historically underrepresented students and top admits based on
their academic profile.

The Early Calling Campaign is the first of the series and will take
place March 1-6, 2016. Faculty and staff are asked to call Regents
Scholars and historically underrepresented students who have been
admitted to your department, program or college. By participating in
this important yield event, you will be the first person to share with
these students the exciting news of their admission to UC San Diego! Following the Early Calling Campaign, current UC San Diego students will
call admitted students to invite them to Triton Day and campus overnight
programs; the following week UC San Diego alumni will share their Triton
experiences with admitted students who are not contacted in the first
two campaigns.

To participate in the Early Calling Campaign, follow this link to
register as a caller: http://admissions.ucsd.edu/earlycalling.html. A
link to the active calling campaign site will be sent via email the day
the campaign launches. The online tool will assist you with placing and
tracking calls to the admitted students.

Admissions decisions will be released mid-March, and once again the fall
2016 admits are among the best and brightest with admissions offers from
top institutions across the country. Faculty interaction is a key
factor in a student’s college decision-making process. Therefore,
faculty participation is essential to our success. In an effort to
increase participation, please forward this invitation to your staff and
colleagues.

If you have any questions, please contact Catherine Polletta (x60269,
cpolletta@ucsd.edu).

The calling campaign is truly a campus wide effort and the participation
of students, faculty, staff and alumni is essential to our success.
Thank you in advance; we are looking forward to another rewarding and
productive yield campaign.
